Shorewall[1] is excellent, both in terms of its feature set and the
quality of its documentation.
Excerpt from output of 'apt-cache show shorewall':
Shorewall allows you to describe your firewall/gateway
requirements using entries in a set of configuration files. It
reads those configuration files and, with the help of the
iptables utility, configures Netfilter to match your
requirements.
Shorewall supports a wide range of router/firewall/gateway
applications, traffic shaping and almost every type of VPN.
